Installed 2.6.17 but UI shows 2.6.16?

[manfred1984]

Hello Masters,

Another question may need your advices! I download & installed 2.6.17 package on a server from scratch. It runs well so far except I found the version number in the UI is still 2.6.16, the bug about the 16's category fully expended bug has been fixed. The only thing looks weird here is the version number.

Does it matter? And when I use "Online version check", it still tells me: "Latest version available on www.phpmyfaq.de: phpMyFAQ 2.6.170"

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks for that information... I was unable to reproduce the wrong version number being displayed it displayed correctly Latest version available on www.phpmyfaq.de: phpMyFAQ 2.6.17

as far as it showing you have version 2.6.16 instead of 2.6.17 this will not impact anything everything will work fine...... all it means is just forgot to update the correct version number and include it with the package this will be fixed in 2.6.18

Cheers,

Jason

Hello Jason,

Thanks a lot for answering a couple of my questions!

I am able to reproduce this issue as below:

1. Install a new phpmyfaq from scratch, which mean new db, new install location...
2. After running the setup page, it show a brand new 17 version page, both admin console and user access console are 17!!
3. I tried to restore my previous database backup file which i did in version 16
4. Bang! after this step, all the UI interface comes back to 16

Is this because the version information is stored at mysql database along with the content data?

Thanks,

I just completed a new install on my local machine to see if i could reproduce...... and version 2.6.17 was included in the package.... its not reverting back to 2.6.17.. Thanks for bringing this to our attention we would have to look into this a little further to see why your installation is reverting back to 2.6.16.....

In which type of Enviroment are you using...

Cheers,

Jason

Hi,

if you import your 2.6.16 backup into 2.6.17, the version number will also be "imported" and then you have a 2.6.17 with a 2.6.16 version number. This is no issue at all.
